Ptl. Ronald Broomall, who rescued the little poodle, Chance, from the streets, is a very caring man.

I just don’t understand how some people can be so cruel to these helpless animals by abandoning them, or hurting them or killing them.

As for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick confirming that he owns a dog again with his family after what he did to those poor dogs is beyond me. (Vick served 18 months in prison in connection with a dogfighting ring and was released in 2009.) What kind of punishment is this?

In another local incident, poor Sam, who was rescued from a dogfighting ring, lost some of his face. Can you imagine sitting and watching this cruel act? This dog, and another named “Blue,” did not choose this kind of life, and now someone will judge their fate if they are not adoptable.

An animal knows the difference between being treated well and being treated badly. It’s such a darn shame.

They say that a dog is man’s best friend, but some so-called men are not dogs’ best friends.
